Question

Private IP is not created for custom image

Posted January 8, 2020 14.7k views
NetworkingCustom Images

I am using the API to spin up a droplet that uses a custom image. I have enabled private ip at the time of creation but no network is created in the droplet. I can see in the DigitalOcean control panel that private networking is enabled and an ip is assigned but nothing in the VM.

Do I need to do something with cloud-init/user_data?

This is the result of ifconfig inside the droplet. The private ip is reported as 10.138.228.115 in the DO control panel.

The device itself is properly created ( ens4 ) so the missing piece is likely the integration of the metadata with the interface configuration. This is generally done with cloud-init, which should be aware of using the ConfigDrive datasource ( https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/datasources/configdrive.html ).

You may want to check the cloud-init logs for any issues and ensure that your image is prepared with a release of cloud-init that can handle this data for properly configuring the network interface. Depending on the image and environment, this may use an intermediate layer to produce the configuration ( e.g. netplan <-> systemd-networkd/NetworkManager ) but is highly dependent on the software included in the image.
